Discover the best cars for different tracks in Gran Turismo 6! Learn about the Nissan GT-R, Ford RS200, a special kart, and the Audi Pikes Peak for optimal performance.

Hey there! So, you're wondering which cars are best for tackling all the different tracks in Gran Turismo 6? I've put together a quick rundown of the four cars I found most useful during my playthrough. Each one is suited for specific types of racing, so picking the right one can make a huge difference!

Here are the cars I used and why:

• Nissan GT-R Nismo ‘14: My go-to for fast tracks.
• Ford RS200 ‘85: A more balanced option for general use.
• Gran Turismo Racing Kart 125 shifter: Perfect for tight, twisty circuits and kart-specific events.
• Audi Sport quattro S1 Pikes Peak ‘87: My choice for off-road racing.

Nissan GT-R Nismo ‘14

Specs:

• Power: 800 CV
• Weight: 1378 kg
• Drivetrain: 4WD
• PP: 638
• Tires: Racing Soft
• Brakes: Racing
• Engine: Stage 3
• Exhaust: Semi-racing
• Intake: Sports intake manifold
• Catalytic Converter: Sports
• Exhaust manifold
• Weight Reduction: Stage 3
• Hood: Carbon (Body Color)
• Windows: Light
• Transmission: Customizable (six speed gearbox)

This car is seriously quick thanks to its double-clutch gearbox, which means super-fast gear shifts and awesome acceleration. Just a heads-up, though – it can be a bit tricky to handle and has a tendency to flip over if you're not careful. It's one of only two road cars with that speedy gearbox!

Ford RS200 ‘85

Specs:

• Power: 388 CV
• Weight: 1092 kg
• Drivetrain: 4WD
• PP: 499
• Tires: Sports Hard
• Brakes: Racing
• Exhaust: Racing
• Catalytic Converter: Sports
• Turbo: High RPM Range
• Weight Reduction: Stage 3
• Hood: Carbon (Body Color)
• Transmission: Customizable (five speed gearbox)

If the GT-R is too much, this RS200 is a great alternative. It's powerful but much more manageable. It does tend to oversteer a bit more than you might expect for an AWD car, but that's understandable given its rally car origins. I've kept this one under 500 PP because a lot of seasonal events have that limit. I could tune it up more, but I'm used to it this way.

Gran Turismo Racing Kart 125 shifter

Specs:

• Power: 50 CV
• Weight: 80 kg
• PP: 582
• Transmission: Customizable (six speed gearbox)

This kart is a beast on the smaller, twistier tracks. It's the most powerful kart available and the only one with a gearbox, making it super agile. Since it sits so low to the ground, it doesn't really benefit from cutting curbs like road cars do.

Audi Sport quattro S1 Pikes Peak ‘87

Specs:

• Power: 619 CV
• Weight: 1000 kg
• PP: 638
• Turbo: High RPM Range
• Transmission: Customizable (six speed gearbox)

For all your off-road adventures, this Audi is the one. It’s got a great balance of power and lightness, making it better than your average rally car but not as wild as some Group B machines. It’s interesting that it has the same PP rating as the GT-R!
